It can be done. May I suggest you read a previous posting:
https://notepad-plus-plus.org/community/topic/17567/multi-line-find-and-replace
where multiple lines of text are captured (searched on). The use of carriage return/line feeds enables that to be done, see “\r\n” in the search portion.Have a go and if you are still unsure it would be prudent to provide a sample of the text (assuming no confidential information divulged). In this case to provide samples that won’t be affected by the posting engine, please see the FAQ, in particular:

I would interpret this question more simply perhaps than @Terry-R did.
How about:
- Invoke the Replace dialog (via pressing ctrl+h)
- Select your desired text to be searched back in the editor tab window
- Move back to the Replace window and tick the checkbox for In Selection
- Specify what you are searching for and what you are replacing it with, and any other options…
- Press the Replace All button
-
Open Notepad++ and press Ctrl+F and then from the Find in Files tab options.
Now you’ll…
Put the string in the regex format of the Find What: ^.(PeopleSleptWith).$
The string will go between the “()” parenthesis just as shown above in #1
Put the 5 spaces and then the Replace with: PeopleSleptWith 7 stringPut the Filters: as . or *.txt or whatever you are replacing file type wise
Put the Directory: where you want it to be (the root folder)
Check the Regular expression option
Select Replace in Files
Check the file(s) and all should be correct now -
How does THAT mess of a solution match the original problem??
